Monks and Mothers Confront Riot Cops In Struggles Over Cambodian Development

Via Joshua Eaton: the crowdfunding campaign for this film-in-progress has ended, but there’s still time to support the editing process, and the project’s blog, The Cause of Progress, provides a good amount of background information on struggles with development campaigns in Cambodia that are displacing Buddhist monks and laypeople.

Economic development as universally beneficial and “progressive” is one of the topics we’re looking forward to discussing in The Lies That Build Empire… starting tomorrow! Can’t wait to dig in to these spiritual and political conversations.

Our Mission

The mission of the Buddhist Peace Fellowship (BPF), founded in 1978, is to serve as a catalyst for socially engaged Buddhism. Our purpose is to help beings liberate themselves from the suffering that manifests in individuals, relationships, institutions, and social systems. BPF's programs, publications, and practice groups link Buddhist teachings of wisdom and compassion with progressive social change.
